Understanding War & Conflict
We are aware that at times of war and conflict in our world it is important we offer appropriate support for our children and families.
At present, the situation in Ukraine is incredibly difficult to watch and hard to imagine that in 2024 our world finds itself in such turmoil. Long may schools like Cranfield teach the importance of values, the beauty of diversity and the importance of love and peace.
In school, we will be answering questions we have from children in an age-appropriate and sensitive way. If the need arises to discuss the situation at present as a school, you will be informed of what is shared.
